Chapter 224: Chapter 147: Ouroboros Trading Company, Kodo Beast Recruitment Scroll

[Quality: Purple]

[Storage Space: 40 slots]

[Additional Effect: Temperature Control & Preservation (Food can be stored inside for longer periods and will maintain the temperature and texture it had when first placed inside.)]

(Note: An essential item for home and travel. With it, you’re practically carrying a mobile cafeteria.)

...

This was the spatial backpack, and out of all the things Shen Xing had purchased this time, it was the most practical and cost-effective.

After all, their initial backpacks only had 20 slots.

With this, they could carry a lot more when they went out.

’This thing has preservation and temperature control functions. If it could be mass-produced, we could give one to every delivery driver.’

’That way, we could increase delivery efficiency and reduce bad reviews. Perfect.’

Shen Xing thought happily.

After checking the backpack, there were still two pieces of Black Spirit Wood and five [Kodo Beast Recruitment Scrolls] left.

These two items didn’t need much of an introduction.

The former was the main material for upgrading the Large Campfire, while the latter could summon Level 5, Elite Three-Star Kodo Beasts, which was quite good.

’According to the information on the forums, the Kodo Beast Soldier Type has decent combat power, but they’re too slow to be suitable as mounts.’

’However, these creatures have immense strength and incredible stamina. They’re the workhorses among workhorses—the kings of labor, you could say.’

’For a Novice Lord, they’re a pretty good Soldier Type.’

’Of course, if you want to raise them, you first have to ensure your territory has enough Food. Otherwise, these big eaters are no joke.’

Shen Xing mentally reviewed the forum information on Kodo Beasts, planning to summon them after he returned.

While they were examining these treasures, Fried Chicken had officially arrived at the Black Heaven’s Wings Mountain Range.

A black aura emanated from the mountains, scattering the gray Fog. The entire range gave off an air of death.

They flew over ravines like abysses and crossed patches of barren Black Forest, advancing for about two or three kilometers.

"This is the place, Shen Xing," Xia Wanyin said softly, her eyes closed.

Shen Xing looked down, only to see a pitch-black canyon stretching over ten kilometers long and so deep it seemed bottomless.

It looked as if it had been cleaved open by some powerful creature’s single strike, forming the canyon like a giant scar.

"Fried Chicken, down," Shen Xing ordered.

The Horned Eagle obediently folded its wings and descended in a steady glide.

They plunged straight into the bottomless canyon. As they descended, the light rapidly dimmed.

Fortunately, the Level 8 Horse Lantern’s illumination range had reached a 200-meter diameter, providing excellent light.

At this moment, they felt like a lone submarine slowly sinking into a ten-thousand-meter-deep sea.

Darkness washed over them from all directions like flowing seawater, bringing a sense of quiet despair.

"This place... you came here alone before?" Shen Xing asked, looking at the girl in the white dress beside him with a strange expression.

"Yes, is there a problem?" Xia Wanyin asked, turning her head.

"Nothing," Shen Xing said, shaking his head.

He had almost forgotten she was blind.

This pitch-black environment might be oppressive or even stifling to others, but it had no effect on her at all.

Because... her world was already dark.

"We’re almost there."

Xia Wanyin’s voice rang out again. She pointed downward and said, "At the bottom of the canyon, there’s an entrance that leads deep underground."

Shen Xing snapped back to his senses and focused his gaze below.

Just as they were about to reach the deepest part of the canyon, an orange-yellow glow illuminated their surroundings.

The rugged rock walls were covered in sharp, cut-like marks, and the ground was littered with the bones of unknown creatures.

At the edge of the firelight, Shen Xing glimpsed the silhouette of a dilapidated structure.

It looked like the entrance to a palace, flanked by a broken stone pillar on each side.

But the dome had collapsed, obscuring most of the entrance.

"Fried Chicken, take us inside."

Shen Xing assessed the size of the entrance; it seemed just large enough for Fried Chicken to maneuver inside.

CHIRP—

Fried Chicken chirped in response, then adjusted its direction and posture, diving down and smoothly slipping through the half-hidden entrance.

The light ahead suddenly dimmed, and an ancient stone passageway appeared before them.

The walls on both sides were carved with special symbols and murals, which looked like some kind of long-lost ancient script.

However, because Fried Chicken was flying so fast, the scenery on either side was receding at high speed.

Shen Xing focused his gaze for a moment but couldn’t recognize the meaning of the symbols.

The passageway was very long, sloping continuously downward.

Fried Chicken maintained a steady flight, venturing deeper and deeper into the dark, secluded passageway.

After flying for another two or three kilometers, a dim, gray light finally appeared ahead.

When they reached the end of the light, the view suddenly opened up before them.

Now, a vast underground space lay before their eyes.

As far as the eye could see, it was like a boundless land sleeping deep beneath the earth.

A faint light shone down from an unknown source high in the dome, shrouding the entire cavern in a Blue twilight.
